‘Joker’ is preparing to make its World Premiere at the Venice Film Festival this weekend. Before Todd Phillips’ film arrives, a second trailer has finally been released. Who isn’t excited about this one? We’re certainly looking forward to it, and even more so now thanks to this new trailer. Back in early April Warner Bros. shared the first look of Joaquin Phoenix‘s portrayal of the disturbed villain. However, today, we get a much better look at what we can expect.
The trailer provides a look at Arthur Fleck and his transformation into the Joker. It also comes with some never-before-seen visuals boasting a look at how different this film is set to be. That was something Phoenix stated about the film. The actor said, “I wouldn’t quite classify this as like any genre.”
Mr. Phoenix added, “I wouldn’t say it’s a superhero movie, or a studio movie or a … It feels unique, and I think more then anything, and probably the most important thing, is Todd [Phillips] seems very passionate about it and very giving, and so that’s exciting. I think, underneath the excitement of these films, and the size of them, there are these incredible characters that are dealing with real-life struggles. And sometimes that is uncovered and exposed, and sometimes it isn’t, and so I always felt, like, there were characters in comics that were really interesting and deserve the opportunity to be kind of studied. And so I think that’s what Todd sees appealing about this idea.”
‘Joker’ Coming Soon!
Ahead of the trailer’s release, the Joker Instagram page teased its arrival with six short clips. Alongside Phoenix, the film stars Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz, and Marc Maro. Joker lands on the big screen on October 4th. Check out the intense new trailer in the video below and keep it locked for more on the ‘Joker’ coming soon.
